Finasteride Tablets

Description

Finasteride tablets, 1 mg or 5 mg per film-coated tablet, supplied in bottles of 30. Finasteride is a 4-azasteroid and a competitive inhibitor of the type II isoform of 5-alpha-reductase. Both strengths are approved, marketed, multi-source generics in the United States and the compound is not scheduled. Research use only, not for human consumption, adults 21 and over, with purchase restrictions by state.

The specification

A fivefold difference in content per unit between the two options, same count, same dosage form. The milligram total and the price per milligram both move with it, and each option carries its own lot and certificate.

Look for finasteride tablets in the ancillary shelf, one shelf down from the anabolics index.

United States regulatory status

Finasteride is approved in the United States at both strengths, is widely available generically, and is not a controlled substance. The ancillary compounds in this catalogue are consistently in that position, and saying so is more useful than letting the parent shelf imply a scheduling status finasteride tablets does not have. Records are at the FDA’s drug approvals and databases and DailyMed.

Finasteride tablets: the azasteroid structure

Finasteride replaces carbon 4 of the steroid A ring with nitrogen, which makes it a 4-azasteroid, and carries a tert-butyl carboxamide at the 17 position. Molecular mass is about 372.5. It is the type II selective member of this pair; the compound two listings over adds six fluorine atoms and inhibits both isoforms.

Both of those facts come from published in-vitro enzymology, not from us, and neither is a statement about what finasteride tablets does in a living organism. For analysis the azasteroid gives a clean ultraviolet response and an unambiguous mass, so identity confirmation is straightforward.

Working the arithmetic by strength

Thirty tablets at 1 mg is 30 mg. Thirty at 5 mg is 150 mg. The price per milligram is printed under each option and the two are not close: content per unit dominates the figure, which is the whole reason we publish it rather than leaving the bottle price to do the work.

Why price per milligram beats the price on the bottle covers the method, and the certificate guide covers what we test on each lot.

Specification and certificate

The specification is what finasteride tablets is sold against, and the certificate is the evidence for it. Purity by HPLC, expressed as percent of total peak area. Identity by mass spectrometry against the expected molecular mass. Residual solvent in parts per million. Appearance and, where the dosage form calls for it, uniformity of content across units. The contract laboratory producing those figures is independent of this company and always has been, and the lot number on the container of finasteride tablets is the index back to its report.

Our guide to reading a certificate of analysis works through one of these documents line by line, and the full set sits on the lab results page.

What this page does not contain

No dosing tables. No protocols. No comparisons of potency between compounds, and no description of what finasteride tablets does in a living organism. Those are not omissions we will fill in on request, including in order notes and in messages to our staff.

The reasoning is on the public record. The pattern the FDA has pursued in writing is pages that pair a research-use-only line with human outcomes, protocols or quantities for finasteride tablets, and the disclaimer does not rescue the page it sits on. Research use only is not a legal strategy goes through the letters, and the FDA’s drug information section carries the agency’s own material.

What arrives

One sealed container of this material, labelled with the compound, the content per unit, the count or fill volume, and the lot number that matches the certificate linked on this page. Storage conditions are on the listing. The packing note names the item in full. We do not ship unlabelled containers, do not split lots across containers, and do not describe the contents as anything other than what they are.

Research use only. Not for human consumption. Purchase is restricted to adults 21 and over and to jurisdictions where this compound is lawful, the listing states where it cannot ship, and checkout enforces it. Nothing here is a drug, a dietary supplement or a food. Certificates for current and past lots, including the ones that failed, are on the lab results page.
